This was not a typical donar kebab that I've had before. The chicken was more in a curry sauce combined with pickled cabbage in a pita. Very good and very filling. I ate every last bite.

Well this has to be the best curry cafe I've yet found in Edinburgh / Scotland…read more As with all such establishments, the decor is functional - you come here for the authenticity of the food. It's always a good sign when a curry cafe has Nihari on the menu, as not everywhere offers this slow cooked dish. I try to be a traditionalist wherever possible though so, having arrived late afternoon, I wasn't going to have what is considered to be a Breakfast / Morning curry. I'll head over next time for the 11:30 opening to try the Nihari - gives me another excuse :-) Today I went for a dish that has become a staple in Pakistani food culture, Haleem. Adapted hundreds of years ago from the original Harisah recipes which were first documented in the Middle East sometime between the year 900 and 1000, Haleem is now prepared and enjoyed in Pakistani family homes and restaurants all over the world. At just a fiver (currently) for Haleem and a hot, buttered Naan, this medium spiced dish is not only very tasty, but is also superb value. Today I had Beef Haleem. It was delicious. The dish is prepared with Beef, Wheat, Barley and Lentils (plus spices) and it is slow cooked to such an extent that the beef completely blends into the other ingredients so the dish becomes a thick sauce "curry". Tearing off a corner of Naan and dipping it in, it tasted fantastic. The Marhaba Kitchen is a proper curry cafe and the owner / chef could not have made me any more welcome. Next visit - Nihari time! :-)

Everything was absolutely delicious; the onion bhaji was light and tasty, pakora flavourful with fresh veg, and the main courses - the chicken was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying sauces freshly made and very tasty. Service was impeccable - attentive, but not overly so. Great experience all round; highly recommend.

Obviously they're quite different but both are very tasty. The korma is very coconutty and smooth with lovely spices and perfectly mild. The bhuna is rich and full of tender lamb pieces with a bit of a kick! Nik loves the 'baby chicken' grill which is never baby sized - he gets massive pieces of chargrilled spicy chicken with salad and sauces on the side. We sometimes get takeaway but since they're always so busy it can take a while so we often collect the food. We've never eaten in but it looks pleasant enough and is always full when we've collected!

The meat on the bone is exceptional- it is high quality stuff, and the grilling makes it nice and dry, compared to greasier cuts that are the usual fare. The curry sauces are balanced just right: neither too spicy nor bland, and the service is exact and polite. They also do a delicious lassi, which I drunk by the jug. Absolutely stuffed by the meal- and the huge nan bread, which was fluffy and sweet, my own regret was the uncomfortable walk home: my belly was way too full.

The staff are always friendly and very attentive, no matter how busy the place is. I had vegetable pakora to start which was crispy and very tasty. Oh, and their spiced onions are the best I have ever tasted! My main of Chicken Tikki Chasni was delicious and so creamy. But the real star of the show was the Peshwari Naan which was easily the best I have ever tasted: so sweet and coconutty (that's now a word!). Overall, the meal was just jam packed with delciious-ness! We both ordered vanilla ice cream and how on earth the waiter managed to memorise all the different sauce toppings is beyond me - THERE ARE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM! Seriously, I was impressed with the selection, even though I opted for raspberry. We were tempted to order MORE ice cream to try different sauce toppings but I'm pretty sure ordering two desserts each is well...not the done thing, haha! I highly recommend a visit to The Shenaz if you've not yet been!

Since the nearby New Pearl of India was done up to resemble a lottery winners living room, the Shezam has struggled somewhat to hold on to its loyal band of regulars. But to be fair to it, it has survived against all odds. And I have heard that on a Thursday night you can get a buffet for a pound if buying another full price one!

As you can imagine, a business that has been around so long has a legion of regulars, and has definitely earned each and every one. Nomi is the kind of business owner who is all about his customers. He loves a bit of banter, and is always keen to make sure you've enjoyed your meal, and to find out if and how service can be improved. The food itself is always fresh and tasty, and can be made more or less spicy at your request (excellent for those who aren't satisfied until they have a volcano in their mouths, as well as the shy of spice). The selection is to die for, and the Shezan is also one of the few places where you can actually order gajrela for dessert - so yummy. And just so you know, you can have speciality Indian teas instead of the bog-standard tea for the end of your meal. Tis definitely the best Indian restaurant to be found in the Mount Florida / Battlefield area. Get on down there and partake!

I arrived about eight o'clock on a Saturday night and it was packed. I was asked if I had a reservation, I said no, was asked to take a seat in the comfortable waiting area across from the bar, and within two minutes was being shown to a big roomy table along the back wall. seats were very comfortable. They have quite an extensive buffet set up but I opted just for a main course, (as I'd already had a carvery that day). I ordered the tandoori dish of the chicken tikka, just that I could compare it to the same dish in other restaurants. It came sizzling on the cast Iron plate. The sizzling plate was left with me for ME to take the pieces of meat from it by myself. The food was delicious and the prices were very good too. ( bottle of Peroni £2.50). I'd recommend this restaurant to everyone. I'm going to try the takeaway menu next. I'm dying to try one of these 'Hoagies' on it.
